“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” ~ H. Jackson Brown

The Buddha quote reminds me, especially if I’m having a moment where I feel like I am just giving away something that I have…that this only helps to make the world a better place. And in that thought, and that more light comes to this world…what a beautiful gift to give!!
Thanks for those great thoughts. I also love this quote by Buddha: “If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your own path. “
Yes Lance, the act of giving is, in itself, a beatiful gift, so in giving once, we give twice – that must be why what we give comes back to us multiplied, especially when consciously given with love
Hi Betsy,
